Dramatic Kitchen Make-over

I am beside myself with excitement to share with you my newly painted kitchen! I think the color change did amazing things to the look and feel if this space. Come on the journey with me.

My young-and-cute-handy-dandy-handyman and I tiled the back splash with smaller white subway tile and a black pencil trim tile to tie it to the black of the counter-tops! What a difference...

Ihad fun when I originallyhand painted the red tile back splash, but this white it so timeless and much brighter. Iwill be sharing with you on how we did this tile job in another post.

I also made matching valances that are the same style as the ones I made for the bay window in the dining room. I will share a separate post on the valances...past to present...and a failure! Yes, I make mistakes too!

I have touches of red decor left over so I will still use it to interject color in this space...

What I find amazing is how much better the stainless steel appliances look with this color gray.

Here is thecolor code from Sherwin Williams again...

Notice how the 'stuff' on the walls shows up much better with this lighter color.And I am forgoing a round rug under the butcher block this time around.

These two rooms flow beautifully and I couldn't be more pleased with this make-over. You can see the post on the dining room HERE.

Terry it's fantastic! I wondered what you were going to do about your backsplash. The new backsplash looks beautiful and timeless. Your new paint color is perfect and you're right the appliances look nice with it. Love the window treatments!

Your kitchen make over is gorgeous!! You did a terrific and fabulous job..I love it! Your new balance is very pretty and goes perfect. I love that lamp by the window and all the other pieces too. Congrats and enjoy it!!FABBY

What a beautiful kitchen makeover. It always amazes me what a difference a simple change in paint colour can make to a space. And your backsplash turned out great. Love the details of the black pencil tile. It gave just the right touch.

Oh Wow, what an amazing change, it looks so beautiful. I am really falling in love with black and white these days myself. This looks so fresh and clean and modern.Very very nice. Hope you continue to enjoy it for a long time to come.........Thanks for sharing it with us,Blessings, Nellie

Terry, Your newly remodeled kitchen looks fantastic. I like the way light reflects off of white. The gray is a perfect partner to this new design. Very pretty! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!Sherry

What a gorgeous makeover! We are finishing our basement and I am doing the kitchen with white cabinets. Of course it won't be as big as this, but pretty good size still. I want to paint a few of the rooms grey. I have been looking at paint chips but hadn't decided. I love this color and I think it's just what I'm looking for. Love your pops of black and red. Really stunning! Happy that I found you from Adorned from above. Now following. I have a link party, Share Your Cup Thursday. I would love if you shared.hugs,Jann
